In 1998, Producer Helena Harris, creator of Bananas in Pajamas, created "Hi-5" when her two children outgrew 'Bananas'. She and co-producer Posie Graeme-Evans decided the new show would be aimed at 2-8 year-olds, would include educational trends as fun and games, and would feature music and movement that would attract children's attention. Hi-5 aims to cater to a wide range of young children with a wide range of cognitive abilities and learning styles.



Child-development experts work with writers on every script. Each show is built around a simple theme like colours, music, animals, or numbers. Each show is then divided into segments that teach the concept different ways. Music is seen as the method of joining the segments of the program together as well as highlighting the concepts and themes of each program.

The auditions for the Australian hosts were held in June 1998 and the first program was broadcast in January 1999. Since then, the original Australian show won three ARIA awards for "Best Children's Album" (in 2000, 2001 and 2004), won three consecutive Australian Logie Awards (the Australian equivalent of the Emmys) for "Most Outstanding Children's Preschool Program" in 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Hi-5, originally an Australian children's television program, was first shown on the Nine Network in 1999. Five, a UK broadcast network, rebroadcasts the Australian version. In 2003 an American version of the program began broadcasting in the United States. Hi-5 is now shown in 83 countries.
